    Updated my vote. I’m currently building a Bussmann to power my lighting build. Will need three switches with stock illumination to the left of the steering wheel, and one overhead for the 2Lo mod.

    May be worth cross posting in the MESO threads for lower switch panel, drivers cubby, and overhead switch panel?

    Stoked this is moving forward. I was starting to piece together my own plug and play solution from the drivers A pillar and the overhead connector. I suspect @Puppypunter might be interested in this option as well?

    @daveeasa thanks! I would have definitely hopped on this if I hadn’t just made one. I like the options on these, and I can definitely see a market for them.

    I'm definitely interested in these - just got my kit this past week and am ready to install, but may just hold off until the illumination harness is available - how long until you have samples ready for purchase? BTW - this is an awesome idea, and given the amount of accessory switches that are sold for this truck, I can't believe nobody had done this sooner!

    The production samples arrived at my house Monday, but I am away for work this week and have not looked them over yet. Once I review them, request changes, and have take orders it will probably be 3-4 weeks for production based on what the 2LM harnesses took, depending on QTY.

    Awesome, sounds good! I'm definitely interested - I may just take one of each to see which works out best for me. I plan on putting my switch on the left side of the center switches, right below the 4x4 knob.

    I probably missed it - but I assume there will have to be some splicing on my end into the harness that I've got?

    If you're talking about the 2LM harness, no. It's 100% PnP.

    This is fantastic. I spliced into the cargo light with a vampire tap and I absolutely hate it, I think about it every time I get into the truck. I'll take a cargo light harness and enough of the daisy chain harnesses to illuminate 5 switches.

    No, I meant attaching the illumination harness to the 2LO harness and switch.

    We're saying the same thing. :thumbsup:

    If you are using my 2LM harness, the illumination harness is 100% PnP, no splicing. If you want to add other aftermarket switches, they are also PnP with the daisy chain option.

    Also, even if you don't have the 2LM harness, you can still use this to get illumination to aftermarket switches, but you will still need to sort out relay wiring.
